The "secret" to preserving the center conductor dielectric is to use a
soldering tool that is capable of applying heat more quickly and melt
the solder. Using an iron with insufficient heat mass and power
requires you to apply heat for a long period of time, and that is what
melts the insulation.

I also use a 40W Weller with good results.
The 25W do not work well and tend to melt the center
conductor.
